If you want to make money get into a trade, strive for a six figure income and sell options in the stock market. You'll be able to retire in ten years if you're frugal, don't have kids, and don't live in a country that's going to collapse.

File: gun poses cover.png (841 KB, 595x846)
841 KB PNG
I found this book that contains a bunch of gun poses. On the cover, there are two drawings, but I have no idea who made these. Therefore, I wanted to ask if someone here knows who this might be and where I can find more, because I'm very much interested in the specific stylization used here, and would like to study it as much as possible. I know it's a long shot, but maybe someone knows it or speaks Korean enough to find it?

link to the book:
https://gofile.io/d/Hj7ADzXX

Other than that, what are some similar stylizations? I mean where it's slightly toned down instead of the humongous rounded eyes and shit you usually see in manga. I know Fujimoto, specifically in his oneshot "sisters" has a somewhat similar style, but who else?

If you even slightly consider your words to be true I'm afraid you will never make it.

A following is but a byproduct of an initiative that is recognized. To be recognized in itself is not a goal. To be recognized by itself is not even a positive thing as opposed to the value you wish to extract from said recognition (aka >90k followers but they're all Chinese/Indian and do nothing but make AI models of your work to generate feet pictures).

If you wanted money you could do other things for less effort, live amicably and then drawfag what you'd like (possibly being recognized in the process). If you wanted love and attention you could do things for people who are near and meaningful to you (possibly becoming an irreplaceable artisan in your culture of choice). But no, you've decided to be a stupid motherfucker who saw 1-2 artists with a following (without knowing them personally) then somehow grew envious of their position without understanding how they got there. Now I gotta read this sort of bullshit before you vainly disappear into nothing - hoping nobody actually heard you - as you draw your final pathetic breath.

I'm seconding this. >>8041989 Back when I was on tumblr, I ended up following one artist who turned out to be an actual illustrator for Magic cards. But their posts would never go above 150 likes. I'm reminded of them whenever I or someone conflate online popularity with skill or sucess.

I think the figure is sitting a little flat against the wall and it feels a little 2D. You might be correct in the position a figure can take when viewed straight on like that, but in a drawing it sort of disappears into the medium.
What works in a photo won't always work in a drawing. Sometimes the best approach is to turn the figure at an angle to better convey that 3D-ness.
Here's a quick red line if it's helpful to you.

if the shekel per goyim index is too low you produce lower quality work. Time is a function of days not hours for humans and if you want somthing that looks raelly nice the person making it has to get lots of regular sleep and other normal nigga things or their work will suffer.

There's a reason china cannot produce swiss quality watches. Happy Humans work much better, but much slower as a result. and third worlders are not happy.

>>8051448
Like the OP image you start with a box. View the head as a box and not just a sphere and draw it from various angles, getting the perspective right. As a beginner you are not going to be able to tell whether the boxes are perfect or not, so also copy photos or even anime heads, but instead of just copying the 2d shapes try to draw a box around them and work out how the box perspective interacts with facial features.
Once you see improvement increase the complexity of the box. Add brows, cheeks, and jaws. Increase the complexity until you get the Asaro head. The asaro head will be your new best friend. Draw it from every angle. Draw it from memory. Compare it to photos and even anime heads and see how the planes fall into place.
Marco Bucci has a decent head drawing course on how the various features interact and are arranged into a cohesive 3d shape, but it's paid.

Anyone else see AI stuff flooding art marketplaces? Touristy places like this are now filled with AI art for sale, probably because they get to keep 100% of the profits. They also don't disclose it's AI, is this reportable somehow?

i hate this shit. Idk about the rest of the internet retards but i remember when the aibros were being faggots and saying "break the pencil" and "ai art is superior, it does things better and faster" with cunts 'improving' artists art without permission

and now because of the backlash that they themselves generated (lol), they try to hide their ai slop as real.

they're the bootleg dvd sellers of the modern age but they think their bootlegs should be worth as much as a retail copy of the movie.

for obligatory food analogy, if McDonalds wanted $30 for 2 buns and a paper thin patty like they're some 5 star dining experience

i figured that AI slop would become the corn syrup or seed oils of the entertainment industry: it's everywhere because it's cheap, and the average person will consume it, but its mere inclusion is results in negative opinions from consumers and at least some people will go out of their way to avoid it. thus, brands will try their hardest to minimize visibility of slop usage

So like a few months ago.

I made a thread where I asked if I can get a higher quality version of the newest bridgman complete guide to drawing from life. Because the other more popular newer one sucked ass compared to the older bridgman books.

Then some kind anon offered me it but only if I post my work on bridgman. So, I did.

https://warosu.org/ic/thread/7985647

Then after getting my hands on it. I did some research, which I discovered that this particular version doesn't exist on all book piracy sites. Which means that anon and I have been holding what is essentially "lost media".
At first I was excited, but that means If I deleted this file then that it would be lost forever. So, I uploaded it online as of right now.

https://www.mediafire.com/file/q30jzfp6bnzbbnq/George+Bridgman+-+Bridgman's+Complete+Guide+to+Drawing+From+Life+(5th+Edition).pdf/file

However, it isn't enough. I wanted this to be first spread around to /ic/ then onto most popular book piracy sites.

complete guide isn't that great because it attempts to be a one-stop shop for everything but falls short because it can't fit everything in, go with the individual books and maybe have complete guide on the side as a reference book
